For the first 33 years of his life, Wernher lived and accomplished many things in Germany. In Germany, Wernher found his passion for rocketry, and showed it through his work in the famous German Rocket Society. Additionally, after seeing his work at the German Rocket Society, Hitler recruited Wernher to build rockets for him so that he could start World War II. Using the deadly weapon that Wernher Von Braun made for him, Hitler conquered most of Europe and left a devastating amount of people dead during his conquest. Wernher left Germany in 1945, after surrendering to America.
